How can teachers gauge student progress effectively?

Implementing diverse assessment methods allows teachers to obtain a comprehensive view of student progress. Different students may demonstrate their understanding and skills in various ways, so using a variety of assessment tools—such as formative assessments, projects, quizzes, peer reviews, and self-assessments—provides a richer and more accurate picture of each student’s learning. This approach not only accommodates different learning styles and needs but also enables educators to gather ongoing feedback, which can inform instruction and support individualized learning paths. By varying the assessment methods, teachers can better identify strengths and weaknesses and tailor their support to enhance student learning.
